Introduction: Infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, nanotechnology is an excellent function for the treatment of drug-resistant microbial infections, which many antibiotics have been used to control. In addition, nano-systems have attracted a new structure for the evolution of antibiotics in improvement.
Methods: This systematic review, to identify studies aimed at the effect of nano-antibiotics in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases, search in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases based on keywords Antibiotics, Nanotechnology, and Infectious diseases was done. After reviewing the summary of the articles and checking the title, the irrelevant articles were removed. The full text of the articles was searched and the articles related to the topic were included in the study.
Results: Nano-particles have strong antimicrobial activity, which is why various types of communication nano-systems are evaluated for the treatment of infectious diseases. Antimicrobial nanoparticles have many advantages over conventional antibiotics in reducing the medicinal aspect, effects, resistance, and treatment costs.
Conclusion: Creating bacterial resistance to antibiotics will turn infectious diseases into one of the diseases soon. Also, most bacterial infections need to be treated with antibiotics, although some may resolve independently.
